mafeerty same...🤔

[@Aziiio]

I feel like it's probably non existent

[@lixquidlilo2984]

I feel like Jenna and Chris’s relationship with her is pretty good or at least decent because during Jenna and Kevin’s podcast Jenna has talked about her multiple times and Chris mentioned a short story about her while he and amber went on and it didn’t seem awkward or anything. Kevin has also talked about Lea on the podcast but he’s closer to Naya so idk I think most of them just stay neutral or at least act neutral between Lea and Naya

[@ambzerambzer8800]

@@Aziiio that's no true, She's been friends with Jenna from years before, Glee also Johnathan Groff (Jesse) her best friend from years before Glee and also played a part in her wedding. Also she still hangs out with chord as well as Becca and Darren. Lea and Darren did a live chat and said yesterday (at the time) they were with Chord. And she also talks to Amber Riley, sooo

[@Aziiio]

@@ambzerambzer8800 Well the OP already stated apart from Becca and Darren. Jonathon was on glee but he was never apart of the og regular crew of glee. Regardless tho, I'm guessing the OP was more so talking about the other cast apart from the obvious people she's still close and in contact with.🤷🏻‍♀️
